The route is approximately 50 percent pavement, 40 percent gravel and 10 percent dirt/sand and initially follows the Mississippi River north with a detour into Iowa across the hilly Driftless Region.
BOONDOCKING IN WISCONSIN PLUS
From the southern Wisconsin border near Galena, Illinois, the TWT runs 600 plus miles north, ending near Cornucopia, Wisconsin on Lake Superior. I’ve driven the TAT from Oklahoma to Virginia in a truck camper and it was an amazing journey into the depths of rural America.Ĭloser to home, the Trans Wisconsin Trail (TWT) was initially designed for dual-sport motorcycles, but can easily be driven by any street legal vehicle (high clearance and 4WD are recommended), and GPS files can be downloaded at no cost. The granddaddy of them all is the Trans America Trail that uses public roads to cross the country from the Atlantic to the Pacific, the majority of which is on unpaved roads. However, that doesn’t mean that there are no opportunities to explore and thanks to our friends in the dual sport motorcycle world, many states have routes that traverse some of their best landscapes. As one travels eastward across the United States however, public land becomes less and less common and on the east coast, virtually non-existent.
Iconic trails such as the White Rim, Mojave Road, Bradshaw, Camino del Diablo, Moab, and the Rubicon (to name a few) offer access to spectacular scenery and challenging driving conditions. The American West has vast amounts of public land offering almost unlimited opportunities to explore off road often with free camping.
